It was still in the first month, less than a month after the end of Zhuang Yong's war.
Yong still needed time to recuperate.
Even the Marquis of Huaixiang had been demoted.
Yong needed stability.
No matter how one looked at it, they shouldn't rashly start a war.
But if one accepted the fact that Yong was about to dispatch troops and looked at it in reverse, one would discover that this was an excellent opportunity.
Yong had lost the previous war and lost half of its territory, but it had received the support of the Mohist Sect. Its overall strength hadn't actually declined.
At this point in the political revolution, those who should be demoted had been demoted and those who should be reprimanded had been reprimanded. After so many beatings, it was time to eat the dates.
But where would the dates come from?
Yong's state had lasted for so many years. The benefits that should be divided had long been divided. After losing the war, they lost half of their territory, and their resources had shrunk. After the political revolution, they were divided again, and another group of people's benefits suffered.
Although Han Xu could use forceful methods to suppress this conflict, it wasn't a good method. Most of the time, it was a better choice to shift the conflict to the outside.
Looking at the situation around Yong, it wasn't rational to develop east or north. The Jing Kingdom watched coldly from the northeast.
South was the Zhuang Kingdom. The dream of taking back Dragon Sealing Pass and wiping away their previous humiliation was exciting. But Zhuang Gaoxian had already used the previous battle to prove the valiance of the Zhuang army.
Zhuang Kingdom's Great General Huangfu Duanming led the army to guard Dragon Sealing Pass and was also waiting in formation. It definitely wasn't an easy bone to chew.
Compared to the difficulties, the gains weren't worth it.
Looking west, they could follow the long river and attack Luo. It was a wonderful sight. But Zhuang and Luo had once led an allied army to attack Yong. The former alliance still existed, and Zhuang wouldn't sit idly by as the Yong army invaded Luo. Secondly, the Lanhe navy had long been crippled. Attacking Luo was undoubtedly using their weakness to attack Luo's strength.
After all was said and done, only Reef and Chen were easy targets.
Coincidentally, Reef had given a reason at Marquis Weining's birthday banquet.
Then Reef had become a natural choice, and Marquis Weining was the most suitable candidate.
And now, Marquis Weining was already at the front lines, but the news hadn't spread. Even Feng Ming had learned from Feng Yue. At least in Shun 'an Prefecture, even the Azure Cloud Pavilion's upper echelons like Chi Lu didn't know. It was clear to see how secretive this operation.
Using the strong to attack the weak, and using a sneak attack.
No matter how he thought about it, there was no reason for him to lose the battle of the reef.
Jiang Wang advised Feng Ming to go to the battlefield to gain experience. He was truly thinking for him. Although Feng Ming was a narrow-minded person with a vicious nature, he wasn't a kind person.
However, during this period of time, he had treated this "Yu Songhai" quite well. Since he had promised to bring them in, he had brought them in without question. If Jiang Wang wanted to go to any place within the sect, he would make the decision and never refuse.
Tonight, he planned to sneak into the forbidden area of the Clear Cloud Pavilion. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he would definitely have a falling out with the Clear Cloud Pavilion and escape was inevitable.
Before he left, he gave Feng Ming a piece of advice. It could be considered that he had completed his time with Feng Ming.
Feng Ming didn't think too much about it. After spending some time together, he was very convinced by Jiang Wang's analysis. After hearing this, he said, "You're right. I'll discuss this with my father!"
He was already used to using Jiang Wang's advice to show off in front of Feng Yue. There was nothing to be embarrassed about.
However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said excitedly, "Songhai, let's go to the battlefield together! How about it? "
Perhaps he relied heavily on Jiang Wang's analysis, or perhaps he also wanted to let Jiang Wang gain some benefits.
However, Jiang Wang was shocked and hurriedly said, "With my strength, it's too dangerous to go to the battlefield. It's better for me to cultivate in the sect. "
After all, Yu Songhai's cultivation was only in the Soaring Dragon Realm. He had some impressive swordsmanship, but most of it was incomplete. It was difficult to improve his battle strength. Yu Songhai hadn't been in contact with the Clear Cloud Pavilion's Dao techniques for long. It was hard to say what achievements he had.
Feng Ming thought for a while and finally nodded. "That's true. Then you should cultivate well. I'll let them know. No one will dare to bully you. Oh right, remember to keep the fact that Marquis Wei Ning has already reached the front line a secret. "
"Don't worry." Jiang Wang said very confidently, "Songhai won't tell anyone."
Only then did Feng Ming leave, satisfied.
Looking at his back, Jiang Wang sighed.
He didn't know if it was because he was wearing the mask of Yu Songhai and rarely showed his edge, but he felt that he was very likable now. He had only been in the Azure Cloud Pavilion for half a month, and he seemed to have made a name for himself. Everyone seemed to be very friendly to him …
Chi Lu came up to him and wanted to take him as his foster son. Feng Ming also wanted to take him along to gain some benefits.
Just now, if Feng Ming didn't change his mind, he would have to use the wrong path …
In an instant, there was only one person left on the mountain peak that was still bustling with noise and excitement.
Jiang Wang didn't leave. Instead, he sat down quietly on a mountain rock and calmed his emotions. He planned the plan of action for the night in his mind.
First, he arranged the few places that he hadn't been to in the Azure Cloud Pavilion according to the possibility of hidden lost buildings. This would be the order of his targets when he acted.
Once exposed, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he would immediately escape.
Thus, the escape route was also very important. The map of the entire Wenxi County reappeared in his mind. Even how to escape from Shun 'an Prefecture, how to escape from the Yong border, all kinds of routes had to be planned in advance.
Preparedness leads to success, and unpreparedness leads to failure. Especially when it concerned his own safety, he had to think about it repeatedly.
In the entire plan, his own safety was the most important, followed by the lost buildings of the Cloud Top Immortal Palace. If he couldn't get it this time, he would decisively leave first. When he was strong enough, he would come back to get it.
After thinking everything through and deliberating a few times, Jiang Wang went down the mountain alone.
He had made up his mind. He only needed to wait for the night to arrive.
…
…
The night at the Azure Cloud Pavilion began with the crow's cry in the distance.
Jiang Wang waited patiently for night to arrive. Finally, night came.
He walked casually in the encampment of the Azure Cloud Pavilion. Occasionally, he would greet the people he met.
He was calm and natural.
The more critical the moment, the calmer his mind was.
"Songhai!"
When he looked carefully, Chi Lu, who wanted to be his foster father, appeared again at an untimely time.
"Have you thought about it?" He was full of smiles.
Jiang Wang didn't mess up his plan because of this small accident.
With a thought, he leaned forward and whispered, "I heard … Marquis Wei Ning has already gone to the front lines."
The words he said to Feng Ming not to tell anyone before still rang in his ears. But Jiang Wang could only say sorry in his heart. He had already decided to act tonight. At this time, he couldn't be entangled with Chi Lu.
Chi Lu's expression changed. He clearly knew what this news meant. If Feng Yue and his son were to follow Jiao Wu on the battlefield and gain military merits, they wouldn't need to fight for the position of sect master anymore.
In comparison, roping in Jiang Wang was much less important.
Without another word, he turned and flew into the night sky. He wanted to actively seek a response and find a way to get a share of the pie.
Jiang Wang shook his head. For a moment, he was very proud of his wit.
There weren't many experts from the outer sect in the Azure Cloud Pavilion. Now that another one had left, it would be much safer for him to run later. It was killing two birds with one stone.
He walked forward, his expression as usual.
Walking in the encampment of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, he responded to everyone's greetings.
No one knew who he was, and no one knew what he was doing.
This kind of night, this kind of mood, was somewhat tranquil.
Bang!
This sound traveled very far in the night.
The silence was broken.
Jiang Wang suddenly turned around.
He only saw …
Chi Lu, who had just flown into the night sky, fell to the ground.
In an instant, he was already a powerless corpse!
